Kumasi restaurants and food stalls can no longer put salt shakers on their tables. This new rule comes from the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly.
Mayor Richard Ofori-Agyemang Boadi announced the policy. It is designed to help people eat less salt.
Eating too much salt can cause high blood pressure, which is a serious health problem. The assembly wants to help residents live healthier lives.
Food businesses must now keep salt away from public view. Customers will have to ask for salt if they really want it.
This measure is part of a larger effort by the city to improve public health. Officials believe reducing salt intake will have a positive impact.
The policy targets all food service outlets in Ghana’s second-largest city.
